Chapter 117: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

Someone asked Zu Dashou: "Could it be that we can only sit and wait for death, or wait and see where the wind goes?" ”

Zu Dashou nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the only way!" ”

So after some discussion, the generals of Guan Ning, who still controlled some soldiers and horses, finally reached a unified opinion, that is, to wait and see the results of the battle with Jiannu led by Yu Xiaotian this time, if Yu Xiaotian really destroyed Jiannu, then they had no other way than to honestly hand over the military power and go home to retire.

But if Yu Xiaotian led the army out of the customs this time, but he was not able to kill Jiannu, then they would still have a chance to continue to bargain with Yu Xiaotian and retain their current status outside the customs.

But today, when they saw with their own eyes these incomparable soldiers and horses of the Yu family under Yu Xiaotian's command, they were already half cold.

They have been dealing with Jiannu outside the gate for decades, and they can be regarded as quite knowledgeable, but they have never seen such elite people, so almost everyone subconsciously has sentenced Jiannu to death, and they can no longer afford to fight against Yu Xiaotianyang Fengyin.

Yu Xiaotian didn't hold a shelf, and after getting off the horse and meeting with Zu Dashou and his party, he personally pulled Zu Dashou to talk to him, but they talked very happily.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian declined the invitation of Zu Dashou and others to invite him to enter the city to set up a banquet and hospitality, and it was inconvenient to talk about these pomp and circumstance as military affairs, but ordered the whole army to camp outside Jinzhou on the spot, and invited Zu Dashou and others to have a simple meal in the camp outside the city, and discuss the next matter of suppressing Jiannu.

Zu Dashou and others had no choice but to obey the order, now although Yu Xiaotian did not ascend the throne and call the emperor, but he hung the name of a prison country, his identity, now in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be one person under ten thousand people, in fact, even the current Holy Emperor Chongzhen, I am afraid that he can only be at his mercy.

So Yu Xiaotian left them in the big camp to discuss, and they didn't dare to refuse lightly, so they could only pinch their noses and agree, looking at those Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, with a dazzling speed, they set up camp outside the city, and in less than an hour, a huge barracks with all kinds of facilities were arranged outside Jinzhou City.

In such a short period of time, the Yu family army set up such a complete military camp, and just this one thing opened the eyes of Zu Dashou and the Guanning generals.

All the generals of the Yu family's army, under the unified scheduling, are as agile as the fingers, each performing his duties without any chaos, and the high efficiency can be said to have opened everyone's eyes.

And when doing this, Yu Jiajun did not relax at all about the surrounding situation, the cavalry did not disband at all, but patrolled around the camp separately, and immediately responded to any surrounding turmoil, which shows that the vigilance of Yu Jiajun is very high, even if this is the Da Ming control zhì area, they have not relaxed at all.

They also felt that Yu Jiajun's distrust of them, Guan Ningjun, made them a little embarrassed and a little discouraged.

Fortunately, they didn't do anything wrong today, if they really tried to be unfavorable to Xiaotian, I'm afraid they would be planted here directly today, and these tiger and wolf divisions led by Yu Xiaotian are definitely capable of flattening their Jinzhou City.

Especially when they saw the artillery unit of the Yu family army into the camp, they were secretly surprised in their hearts, they did not expect that the Yu family army could carry so many heavy artillery in the field march, although these cannons were dressed in cannon clothing, but just from the outside of the cannon wrapped in the cannon clothing, it can be found that the gun carriage design of these cannons is extremely exquisite, and the movement is quite labor-saving.

Each cannon was hung behind a new front car, and the artillerymen either rode on the front car or followed on both sides of the gun carriage, and each gun was towed by two or four horses, which was very convenient when moving.

Roughly calculated, Yu Xiaotian went out of the customs this time, and this road alone carried more than 100 heavy artillery, and all of them were Hongyi cannons, such firepower really made people feel frightened when they looked at it.

The Guanning Army used to be quite well-equipped, and if the Ming Dynasty had any good things, they often used them first, and the Hongyi cannon was the first to be handed over to the Guanning Army for use.

When Yuan Chonghuan led the crowd to fight Ningyuan's victory outside the Guan, he relied on the several Hongyi cannons provided to them in the Guannei to finally achieve victory, so the firearms of the Guanning army were still relatively powerful.

But this is limited to this, although they have also obtained several batches of Hongyi cannons over the years, but these Hongyi cannons are quite bulky and not suitable for field use, and are mostly scattered in various cities, used as city defense cannons, in field battles, it is rare to carry some large Hongyi cannons to participate in the war.

However, the Yu family army brought out so many Hongyi cannons from the Guannai at one time, and it was so lightweight, such equipment made these Guanning soldiers all amazed.

Moreover, they also saw that a large number of Yu Jiajun were not using ordinary cold weapons such as knives and spears, and most of the soldiers of Yujia Army were carrying a musket that seemed to be extremely well-built, which surprised them even more.

After seeing these muskets they were carrying this time, and the number of them was so numerous, the Guanning generals were even more frightened, and they didn't dare to have any ill intentions towards their family army anymore.

Taking advantage of the free time to set up camp, Yu Xiaotian did not directly ask Zu Dashou and other Guanning generals about the recent activities of Jiannu, but found a vacant place on the spot, casually recruited a platoon of fire-gunners from the Yu family's army, and gave Zu Dashou and other Guanning generals a shooting performance on the spot.

Under Yu Xiaotian's order, some soldiers quickly set up more than a dozen chest targets from 150 to 200 paces away, and a platoon of gunners stood side by side, raising their guns to aim at the platoon commander's command.

Zu Dashou and the other generals of Guan Ning were immediately hoisted, and they all stared at those chest targets with wide eyes, they were all people in the army, of course, they judged the distance between the chest targets and these musketeers, and they were all full of curiosity.

It is rumored that the guns of the Yu family army can take people's lives hundreds of steps away, but these are all rumors, they have not seen them with their own eyes, and they have also tried to spend a lot of money to get a few guns of the Yu family army from the customs over the years, but because the Yu family army is extremely strict in the control of firearms, they have never been able to do so.

When Yu Xiaotian wanted to let them see the power of these Yu family's arms and guns in person today, of course these people's appetites were raised, and they all held their breath one by one, staring at the dozen or so chest targets with wide eyes.

Even if they were to bring in artillery bombardment at such a distance, they might not be able to hit it, let alone use bird guns, so they were somewhat suspicious.

But as a row of gunshots rang out, their eyes suddenly fell to the ground, although the distance was very far, they couldn't see the situation on the chest target, but they still saw that a few chest targets were knocked over on the spot because they were not very securely fixed.

After the shooting, Yu Xiaotian invited Zu Dashou and others to go over to test the target in person, so under the escort of the guards, these people walked to the place where the target was set up together.

Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals leaned over to take a closer look at the chest target, and they couldn't help but gasp, each of these chest targets had at least a few slingshots left, and the chest target was made of thick wood, and each bullet effectively penetrated the chest target, so at such a distance, even if it hit a person, it could ensure that the gun projectile was shot into the human body.

So Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals felt a chill in their hearts, and they all secretly called it lucky, fortunately they didn't choose to confront Yu Xiaotian by force at the beginning, otherwise, it is estimated that they are these chest targets at this time, and they are full of holes in their bodies by the guns of the Yu family's army.

Now they completely understand why Wu Xiang led his troops to sneak attack the Tianjin Wei occupied by the Yu family army, and he was beaten so badly, and even he himself was beaten to pieces on the spot, it turned out that the fire gun in the hands of the Yu family army was really not blown, this thing was really sharp to the extreme-

At least no one can come up with a way to restrain them at present, this guy fights far and accurately, even if they defend the city, it is estimated that they will not be pleased, people can be far outside the city, knocking out the defenders on the city wall one by one, without worrying about being counterattacked by the defenders, this battle makes people feel desperate when they think about it, they can't fight at all! It's just a pure beating, but there is no chance to fight back.

Now they know the reason why the Yu family army can take down the Beijing division in just a few days, not to mention that the Beijing division is the Beijing camp guard with those silver-like pewter spearheads, even if they pull these Guanning troops to defend the city, it is estimated that it is not much stronger than those Beijing camps.

Today, Yu Xiaotian seems to let them watch the shooting performance, to put it bluntly, they are knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, let them first understand the power of the guns on the hands of Yu Jiajun, and what crooked ideas they have in their hearts.

After this beating, Zu Dashou and several Guan Ning generals converged the arrogance in their hearts and became much more respectful to Xiaotian.

After the camp was set up, Yu Xiaotian invited them into the camp to talk in the big tent that had just been erected, and after the two sides sat down, Yu Xiaotian did not do too much greeting and politeness with them, and simply asked them about the strength and training equipment of the Guanning army in Jinzhou, and then began to ask them about the situation of Jiannu.

Zu Dashou and the others did not dare to deceive, and almost told Xiaotian about the current situation of the troops and equipment training they were currently having, and then began to report to Xiaotian about the situation on Jiannu's side.
